What are some Valentine’s day activities?
Here are 17 Romantic Things to Do on Valentine’s Day.

SHOP GAMES FOR TWO
Go for a hike
Even if it’s cold where you live, taking a scenic hike is a great way to unplug and unwind this Valentine’s Day.
Maybe there’s a favorite spot where you live, or you might want to try one of the best hikes in the U.S. Either way, you’re bound to have a fun time because you’re in great company
Go stargazing
A stargazing date does not necessitate the use of a telescope. Simply bring a nice outdoor blanket to your garden and use a stargazing app to help you identify constellations in the night sky.
Make a scrapbook of your relationship
Even partners who aren’t very fond of crafts may enjoy this enjoyable pastime. Make a gorgeous book with images of your love, old ticket stubs, and important receipts that you’ll both treasure!
Bake something sweet
Baking with your loved is a pleasant way to spend more time together. You’ll also have a tasty treat to share, such as these Caramel-Chocolate-Walnut Thumbprint Cookies.
Eat breakfast in bed
On Valentine’s Day, prepare a delectable breakfast spread and eat it while lying in bed. It’ll be a refreshing change of pace from the normal morning rush.
Go for a drive
Where are you going? That’s OK. You’ll only need a sense of adventure and a full tank of petrol for this exciting Valentine’s Day activity. While exploring new territory, you’ll both get out of your comfort zones. It’s impossible to predict what you’ll find. You might also be interested in our list of the finest road trips in each state.

At home, try your hand at some DIY Valentine’s Day projects. Consider doing an art project that you can display in your home or making unique picture frames for your favourite images.
Write love letters to each other
If you haven’t done so already, now is the moment to write down why your spouse is so precious to you. Tell them which of their characteristics you like the most, how they make you feel, and why you adore them.
Have a romantic movie marathon
Grab the popcorn and settle in on the couch for an evening filled with your favorite rom-coms, like these favorite Valentine’s Day movies.
Exchange heartfelt gifts
No, February 14 doesn’t have to be all about gifts, but it’s always lovely to give—and receive—a mark of affection. Consider buying something your loved one has always desired or just making a homemade Valentine’s Day card.
Take a bath
Surround the tub with candles, put rose petals in the water, and keep a platter of chocolate-covered strawberries and a bottle of Champagne within reach for a bubble bath fit for a honeymoon suite.
Practice yoga together
Enjoy some Zen time together while stretching and breathing in sync.
Prepare foods in the shape of hearts
If there was ever a reason to prepare heart-shaped food, now is the time! Pizza, strawberry pie, eggs in a basket, cupcakes… the possibilities are endless. Alternatively, get a heart-shaped pizza for a low-effort option.
Massage one another
Grab a bottle of body oil, set the mood with candles and relaxing background music, and give your partner at least 30 minutes of massage therapy. They can thank you by returning the favor.

Valentine’s Day can be a great opportunity to indulge in fun activities, whether it’s dinner solo or some self-care.
Here are 23 awesome things to do when you’re single on Valentine’s Day
Go to a Movie
Attending to the cinema by yourself is arguably preferable to going with others. Get a ticket to a new movie you’ve been wanting to see, get some pricey popcorn and sweets, and treat yourself to a date.
Get a Makeover
Looking beautiful and feeling good are inextricably linked. Get a haircut, a blowout, a mani-pedi, or a massage.
Get Out of Town
Make plans with a friend or family member for a Valentine’s Day weekend vacation, or go it alone. Drive or take the train to a place you’ve always wanted to see, or return to an old favourite.
Make Your Parents a Romantic Dinner
What better way to honour your affection for your parents than to spend quality time with them? Instead of going out to eat, have them cook for themselves. Prepare the table, light the candles, and crack open a fine bottle of wine.
Experiment with a Different Dinner Recipe
Do you have a list of recipes in your favourites or bookmarks that you’ve been wanting to try? Valentine’s Day is the ideal time to gather the materials and prepare a romantic supper for one.
Make an appointment for a couple’s massage.
Who says a couple’s massage or facial need an S.O.? Bring a family member or a favourite friend for the ultimate in relaxation.
Have a “Sex and the City” Marathon
There’s nothing like Carrie Bradshaw’s wisdom to make you feel better about dating. Order pizza from your favourite joint, mix up a Cosmopolitan, and binge-watch the programme that honours all single ladies.
Do Something Generous for Others
Choose an older person, such as a grandmother or a mentor. Send them a rose bouquet and tell them how much you admire them.
Attend a Comedy Show.
Laughing is one of the finest ways to improve your mood, and stand-up comedy events are generally full of self-deprecating humour. If you don’t feel like going out, watch one of Netflix’s most recent comedy specials.
Spend some money on a nice piece of jewellery.
Have you had your eye on some new accessories, such as a pricey pair of earrings, a ring, or a bracelet, but couldn’t justify spending the money? This is your chance to shine. You’re deserving of it!
